Service Repository

Managing Services will be as managing any other asset within your company. Therefore you might need a COTS-Products that assists you in doing that.
There are - besides the also very good and performant Gnu-Software such as JUDDI - two main products available.

1. Systinet
2. Infravio X-Registry

From a architecture point of view the Infravion X-Registry is much more sophisticated since its architecture is highly component based. Neverless the distribution of the functions and the underlying different data bases (1 for registry, 1 for repository) are completely transparent to the user. Hence, the user does not have to care whether he want's to use a function of the registry or the repository. It's just all there right at your fingertips.

The advantages of the COTS-Products compared to Gnu-Software (e.g. JUDDI) are in fact that you will get not only a registry (UDDI) but also a repository (eb).
